So I have all my appointments set! What Next?

I went to the seminar November 13th

I met the surgeon November 17th

Got my blood work done November 17th

UGI and Psychological November 28th

1 class on December 5th

1 class December 8th and Nutrition December 8th

finale class December 13th

and I'm waiting to schedule EGD....

This is all my insurance required so I'm guessing after this my doctor can submit everything for approval? What was your requirements? how long was your process?

BTW I have NJ BCBS PPO , My Surgeon is Dr. Jooyeun Chung. I'm just trying to time this out so I can have the surgery in January....

I went to my first appointment September 28. I've done my labs, chest X-ray, NUT/psychological apt, and I've done my sleep apnea test. My last appointment is December 30th and have received a tentative surgery date of Jan 6. My insurance requirement is 3 months with a supervised exercise program

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
